Description
This Chemical Engineering guidebook contains practical, how-to engineering articles from Chemical Engineering. The volume focuses on the proper selection, specification, sizing, installation, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of control valves and pressure-relief systems in chemical process operations.
The tutorial-style articles provide guidance on using control valves and positioners, sizing pressure-relief valves, combining rupture disks with relief valves, reducing fugitive emissions, troubleshooting in the field, material selection, plant revamps, operability improvements, and managing hygienic systems.
